May is quickly approaching and with it is our chance to spread awareness about GBS. May is Guillain Barre syndrome awareness month. Last year I created a series on my blog called "The Faces of Guillain Barre". I was blessed enough to have enough support to spot light one GBS story a day.
I had so many well wishes and thank you for featuring this series. I'm excited to receive more stories to be able to make this happen again this May. I need at least 30 testimonials but would love to be able to share more. Or carry it on throughout the year.
Any story is welcomed. I just need them by April 7th. Im hoping to have a well rounded line up. Here are some topics I would love to include;

10 years out
20 years out
Permanently in a wheelchair

All I ask is a summary of your GBS journey, treatments used, date diagnosed, where you are from, at least one picture but the more the better. A before, during and current picture would be great.
We are so blessed to be apart of great community. Sharing my story and writing on my blog has been unexpectedly therapeutic.
A special thank you to all of you who participated last year. I would love an update and to repost your stories!
Please email stories by April 7th.
